Theorizing a New Agenda for Architecture

Theorizing a New Agenda for Architecture

Theorizing a New Agenda for Architecture collects in a single volume the most significant essays on architectural theory of the last thirty years. A dynamic period of reexamination of the discipline, the postmodern era produced widely divergent and radical viewpoints on issues of making, meaning, history, and the city. Among the paradigms presented are architectural postmodernism, phenomenology, semiotics, poststructuralism, deconstruction, and feminism.

By gathering these influential articles from a vast array of books and journals into a comprehensive anthology, Kate Nesbitt has created a resource of great value. Indispensable to professors and students of architecture and architectural theory, Theorizing a New Agenda for Architecture also serves practitioners and the general public, as Nesbitt provides an overview, a thematic structure, and a critical introduction to each essay.
